An analytical and numerical model to determine stresses in a Rock Melt Drill produced glass liner for potential use on Mars /

A numerical and analytical model was constructed to determine the resultant stress state imposed on a Rock Melt Drill produced liner. The purpose of this study was to determine if the liner produced would possess the strength required to prevent a failure in the borehole wall. Derivation of energy...
